LCC-MFB Headquarters station at Southwark SE1
The Metropolitan Fire Brigade was created in 1866, having replaced the former London Fire Engine Establishment brigade. It moved from its former Watling Street HQ to the Southwark site due to the vast expansion of the Brigade. Its first Chief Officer, Captain Eyre Massey Shaw, had this complex built as the new headquarters and No 1 fire station. It remained the Brigade Headquarters until 1937 when a new headquarters was opened in Lambeth. The gothic style frontage was demolished in the late 1960s by the Greater London Council but the fire station (now a museum) remains standing today

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic LCC-MFB Headquarters station located in Southwark, SE1. Established in 1866, the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) replaced the former London Fire Engine Establishment, necessitating a move from their Watling Street headquarters due to expansion. The new headquarters and No. 1 fire station were designed by the Brigade's first Chief Officer, Captain Eyre Massey Shaw. The complex, built in the late 1870s, boasts a striking gothic style frontage that was a prominent feature of the Southwark skyline during the Victorian era. The intricate facade, with its pointed arches and ornate detailing, reflects the grandeur and importance of the fire service during this period. The building remained the MFB headquarters until 1937 when a new headquarters was opened in Lambeth. Tragically, the gothic frontage was demolished by the Greater London Council in the late 1960s. However, the fire station, now a museum, continues to stand as a testament to the rich history of the London Fire Brigade. This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural beauty and significance of this historic fire station.
